In February 2022, as bombs rained down in Ukraine, photographer and filmmaker Juraj Mravec was awakened by a phone call. At the other end of the line was his father who breathlessly described what was unfolding just across the border. Without hesitation, the documentarian began preparing to embark on another reporting trip to Ukraine. It was only a few years earlier that he had released his first documentary on the war in the Donbas region. Two years later, in May 2024, Mravec released his second film on the war in Ukraine titled Mir Vam. At the Bratislava premier, Jeremy Hill sat down with the director to speak about the film and the joys and challenges of this type of work. As well, he spoke with Ukrainian refugee Olesya Tsybulko, to get her reaction to the film and Slovak media coverage of the war in Ukraine.
